"Medical historian More anchors this evenhanded portrait of physician Mary Calderone in a broader discussion of the history of sex education in the U.S. [...] An accessible introduction to a pioneering public health advocate." (Publishers Weekly) "We have needed a book that situates Mary Calderone and SIECUS into the history of sex education and the culture wars of the twentieth century. Who better than Ellen S. More, thorough historian and engaging writer, to fill this important gap? More is masterful at linking contraception, family planning, doctors' views, and sexual education together, while cogently illustrating the cultural fights that surround sex education. No one else has done this. A must read." - Susan Reverby, Marion Butler McLean Professor Emerita in the History of Ideas, Wellesley College "An admirable and compelling examination of Mary Calderone's legacy as she fought to transform one of the most fraught subjects within the culture wars— sexual education. This book will be an invaluable resource in understanding the history of sex education, from its conception to the present-day competing strategies known as 'abstinence-based' and 'comprehensive." - Jonathan Zimmerman, Judy and Howard Berkowitz Professor of Education, University of Pennsylvania "Kudos to Ellen S. More for her phenomenal history of sex education in the United States. Dr. More has rightfully centered Mary Calderone, the founder of the Sexuality Information and Education Council of the United States (SIECUS), and has taken a broad and deep dive into the leaders and dynamics that have led the issue of sex education to be a case study for the broader culture wars. Dr. More's ability to combine history with outstanding storytelling make this a truly pleasurable read." - Leslie M. Kantor, Rutgers School of Public Health "Exhaustively researched and engagingly written, The Transformation of American Sex Education adds new chapters to our broader history of sexualities. Ellen More tells the long-overdue stories of Mary Calderone and other pioneering sex educators with depth and nuance." - Janice Irvine, University of Massachusetts "Calderone was a pioneer in the area of sex education: to many she became known as 'the grandmother of modern sex education.' Seeking to destigmatize sex education, her research focus moved away from the shame-based approach. The volume under review explores the 'history of sex education in post-[WW II] America' in two parts, using Calderone's life as the entry point for this study." (Choice)
